Wow, that's the kind of branding companies dream of! Like when google found out people were using their company name to reference the action of using a search engine.

Haha that's pretty funny. Also, I think it'd be a little weird if my mom went with me to a GTA launch party.

Nintendo would never make something like the Xbox, which isn't a knock against the Xbox, just that the design philosophies behind their two platforms and Nintendo's latest two are so radically different.

I forget what the word for it is, but there's a word for when a brand name becomes so popular it gets used for the product, no matter who makes it.  This is the case with Jacuzzi, Kleenex, Coke, Google, Spandex, Thermos, JELL-O, Xerox, and many others.  Those are all brand names.  Many people have called every gaming system a Nintendo for decades now.  Some people called every gaming system a PlayStation when Sony was on the throne.  And in the handheld market, everything's a Game Boy.  When the PSP came out, many people went "Oh, Sony made a Game Boy too now?"  I think one news outlet accidentally called the DS a PlayStation Game Boy or something crazy like that.

Ooh, that's a good one!  I haven't heard that one before, but it actually makes sense.  I want to start assuming every acronym that starts with NE is Nintendo Entertainment something.

A lot more people think of Microsoft as a computer company than they do a video game company. It makes perfect sense if you think about it. MS is famous not for the Xbox, but for PC. Xbox is simply a secondary branch of business.

Thinking Nintendo made the xbox though, doesnt make any sense.

That's funny.

"Sony's Xbox and Microsoft's PS3"

Just makes me feel weird thinking about it ..

It is amazing but when you talk to people outside of the game mraket, htey just don't know a lot about it.

Heh, the title of the window in firefox says "Incredible Microsoft and Nintendo ignorance on VGChartz.com" which is also true (and Sony too of course).
